Georedundant extension of your backup infrastructure

Backing up data using external storage media or Network Attached Storage (NAS for short) is still a common method. Such methods are comparatively inexpensive, easy to set up and usually very durable. In practice, however, local backup solutions such as backing up to an external hard drive have one drawback: since the original files and the backup files are usually in the same place, a fire or water damage could destroy both the backup and the original file at once. That is why the backup on an external storage device is often taken home in the evening or put in a bank safe deposit box. While this reduces the risk, it is cumbersome and time-consuming. On top of that, such a backup is only ever a snapshot, and some data is already out of date by the time a restore may be needed.

Data backup in Object Storage

By backing up your data in Object Storage from Netstream, you gain flexibility and security and achieve georedundant data storage, so you no longer need to worry about such scenarios. Move your data to Object Storage or use it in addition to your existing backup infrastructure to achieve georedundancy.

Simple data backup using backup and synchronisation software

With file management and synchronisation software on your NAS, files can be moved directly to Object Storage. This puts you fully in control of data management. With various third-party software solutions (e.g. CloudBerry), you can also write data directly to Object Storage without a NAS. With this solution, you can do away with manual backups to hard drives.

Increase your flexibility and security and save costs.

Do you think the cloud is too expensive for small companies? We are putting an end to this myth, because the cloud is suitable for companies of every size. With the cloud, you can scale infinitely and in the end only pay for what you really need. In addition, unlike traditional block- or file-based systems, Object Storage stores data in its entirety as individual objects. Associated metadata provides descriptive information about these objects and the data itself. This form of object storage is extremely efficient and can therefore also be used cost-effectively. It also makes it easier to search for and find data.

Benefits of this solution scenario:

• Relieve the load on your local backup infrastructure and thus increase availability.
• Simplify and automate your backup to stay as up to date as possible.
• Stay flexible thanks to high compatibility.
• Store your sensitive data via a secure HTTPS connection.
• Reduce your IT costs by connecting to Object Storage.
• Benefit from unlimited scalability with native Object Storage.
• Thanks to georedundancy, your sensitive data is doubly protected.
